His To Possess
The signal from the chip can only go dead once the host is—
No, Ezio is still alive.
He followed the directions Sandro fed him, cutting through a narrow hallway that smelled of oil and damp concrete. The door at the end was half open. Rico pushed it wider and stepped inside.
The sight hit him hard.
Ezio was slumped in a chair, barely upright, his head hanging low. Blood stained the floor beneath him, it was dark and already drying. His clothes were torn and soaked through. His chest rose shallowly, proof he was still alive, but just barely. The room was empty, and Rico felt it instantly, the quiet that came before something went wrong.
